1What is the general structure of amino acids?
2What are smaller protiens called?
Polypeptides
3Whats the formula to find out the number of peptide bonds?
Num of Amino Acids - 1
4Whats the test for Protiens/ peptide bonds?
Add Biruet solution
The sample will turn Lilac in colour for a postive test
5What type of reaction happens between amino acids?
Condensation reactions
6What is the name of A 2AA bonded together and 3AA
2AA = Dipeptide
3AA = Tripeptide
7Where is a peptide bond found?
Between the Carboxyl group and the Amine group

8What are the 4 levels of protein structure?
Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quanternary
9Where are the hydrogen bonds in proteins?
Between the Amine group hydrogen atom and the Carboxyl group oxygen atom
10Describe Primary structure proteins
An
order of
amino acids linked by
peptide bonds to form a
polypeptide chain
11Describe Secondary structure proteins
-The
coiling of the primary
polypeptide chain to form a
helix-Where the helix is held toghet by
hydrogen bonds between the carboxyl and amine groups of amino acids

12Describe Tertiary structure proteins
-The
folding and
twising of polypeptide chain to produce a
specific 3D shape -Held together by
3 bond types between the
R groups of the amino acids
13Where are hydrogen bonds formed in teriary proteins?
Formed between 2 amino acids with R groups that contain OH groups (hyrdoxyl NOT carboxyl)

14Where are ionic bonds formed in teriary proteins?
Formed between 2 amino acids with R groups that contain a charge

15Where are disulphide bonds formed in teriary proteins?
Formed between 2 amino acids with R groups that contain a sulphur atom

16Describe Quanternary structure proteins
Proteins that have
more than one polypeptide chain working together as a
functional macromolecule (e.g. haemoglobin)

17What are 2 examples of teriary protiens?
Enzymes and Hormones
18What are 3 examples of quaternary proteins?
-Haemoglobin
-Antibodies
-Insulin
